OpenChain @ Nordic OpenInfra Days, October 3rd 2019

By News

The OpenChain Project will be taking center stage during the Risk and Compliance in Open Source panel at the Nordic OpenInfra Days on the 3rd of October.

“Amanda Brock will chair the panel and consider what is risk in open source and what does it take to make software Trustable from a legal and compliance perspective. The Linux Foundation’s OpenChain compliance project has rapidly gained traction and is supported by companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Intel, Toyota and Scania. Andrew Katz from Orcro, a Linux Foundation partner, has been advising companies on open source compliance for many years, and draws on the practical experience he has with clients large and small in discussing this. Martin Von Willebrand will consider how to implement an end-to-end automated open source compliance tool chain and Professor Björn Lundell will highlight findings and challenges from extensive research related to clarifying terms (and obtaining patent licences) for use of IT standards allowing for implementation in open source projects.”

OpenChain Taiwan Compliance Workshop September 27th, 2019: Outcomes

By News

The OpenChain Project, in conjunction with the Taiwanese Legal Network and the Open Culture Foundation, held our second open source compliance workshop in Taipei on the 27th of September.

This event provided an opportunity to build on previous relationships to further our mission to ensure everyone is aware of and understands how to engage with our industry standard for open source compliance. This event was kindly sponsored by MOXA, a company that has been a positive contributor to our project throughout 2019.

As usual we are making the slides from this event available. We kicked off with a general overview of the OpenChain Project by Shane Coughlan, General Manager.

The event included an overview of why the OpenChain Japan Work Group formed and how it works.

Ueda San from Sony provided an excellent presentation on how Sony manages open source and compliance.

Kato San from Panasonic explained how his company contextualizes open source and compliance activities.

The event was capped by the excellent presentation by SZ Lin of MOXA explaining their perspective and activities in Taiwan and globally.

We ended the event with consensus that it is time to begin exploring the launch of a formal OpenChain Taiwan Work Group. Watch this space!
